Book Baton

It must be meme time again in cyberspace. This one is making it's rounds and I'll play along because I love books. Thanks to Lou for passing it on to me.

Number of Books on Shelf

About 70.

Last Book Purchased

Graham Masterton Omnibus containing these novels: Tengu, The Devils Of D-Day, Mirror, and Charnel House.

Last 5 Books Read


  1. Stone Of Tears - Terry Goodkind - a long fantasy novel with some adult themes.

  2. The Black Cauldron - Lloyd Alexander - one of my favourite fantasy books from highschool. It's good for all ages.

  3. The Man Of Gold - M.A.R.Barker - an interesting fantasy/sf set in a very detailed world.

  4. The Writer's Complete Fantasy Reference - various authors (Writers Digest) - I reread the whole book in stages in the last few months. Great info for writers.

  5. The Tommy Knockers - Stephen King. What can I say? Long, gory, good and King.



Books That Mean A Lot to Me:

  • Lord Of The Rings and Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien

  • The Sword Of Shanarra by Terry Brooks

  • The Sector General Series by James White

  • Dying Of The Light and Sandkings by George R.R. Martin

Note to people I am passing this on to. You don't have to write a mini-review of the last five as I did. I am just too lazy to write a big book post. I pass this to so many because many of you are book lovers and this will give you something to blog about. Plus I get to see what you're reading.

Sorry Leon, I won't take the baton.
I only read on holidays nowadays, usually about four books for the week, but I can never remember the authors.

No problem Mick.
